Hi Bobby Thought this may be of interest to folks on this thread. Its good to know that all of our bankers and financial leaders here in Canada and the USA are good honest people. Hmmmm , I wonder if, naw I'm sure there all honest, ???? In the Toronto Globe and Mail Oct. 27/97 there was a story with the heading , JAPANESE GANGSTER SCANDAL SPREADS. Some of the names in story,Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Asahi Bank Ltd. Dai Nippon Printing. 900 Companies Scrapped Ties With Racketeers Last Month More than 900 companies in Japan told police last month they plan to break ties with ''sokaiya'' corporate racketeers, bringing to 1,200 the total number of companies that have pledged to break their sokaiya links, the Japan Times reported, citing police officials. Most of the 900-odd companies were insurance sellers and pharmaceutical makers; until now companies pledging to break sokaiya-links were mainly banking and securities companies. The sudden rise comes as the gangster-payoff scandal that started with Japan's Big Four securities houses and Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank Ltd., spreads to companies such as Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Matsuzakaya Co., the report said.
